APPLIANCE FOR USE WITH RING-SPINNING- MACHINES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 19, 1912. Serial No. 737,699.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HERMANN S'rlinnm and ROBERT STAUBLI, both citizensof Switzerland, and residents of ,Horgen, in the Canton of Zurich,Switzerland, have invented an Appliance for Use with Ring-SpinningMachines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a simple and effective device for placing therunners or travelers on the rings in ring spinning ma chines. Hithertothe runners were placed on the rings either by hand or with tongs whichtook a considerable time and also involved great expense.

, According to this invention the runners are led automatically betweentwo "bars or jaws movable relative to each 'othergthe said bars or jawsbeing so formed and operated that they are adapted to spring the runnersover the edge of the ring when moved toward one another. I

In order that this invention may be clearly understood reference is madeto the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1' shows a plan of thedevice as seen from below; Fig. 2-showsan elevation of Fig. 1. t

According to our invention we make provision of the two bars land 2,each of which is provided with a handle 3. Mounted on the bar 1 are twobolts 4 which pass through slits 5 in the bar 2 and are provided withnuts and washers for junction purposes. The two bars 1 and 2 arelongitudinally slidable and connected by a spring 6 which tends to holdthem in the position shown in Fig. 1. The front end of bar 2 has arecess 7 and a depending nose 8 which can be placed above the upper edgeof the ring designated by 0;. The bar 1 is also provided at 9 with arecess in which the runners or travelers 11 can be placed by means of aguide wire 10.

The said bars 1 and 2 are moved in order to put a runner in place. Thewire 10 thus serves as a holder for the runners 11 and is so shaped thatthe latter, when reaching the recess 9, are presented with their openfaces toward the ring a.

The function of the device is as follows: The runners or travelers 11,subsequently to being put on the guide wire 10, are caused to slidetoward the roundedoff end of the latter, the said end being free andspringy and abutting against the bar 2. When this bar, by meansoftherecess 7, has been placed on the ring as clearly indicated in F ig'. 2,the bar 1 is moved toward the front end 8 of the bar 2 by contractingthe handles 3. This results in the recessed portion 9 of the bar 1pressing against the foremost runner which is caused to be moved towardthe ring. 'The free end of the wire 10 is simultaneously pushed sidewisewhile the runner is forced on and over the edge of the mug. and, withthe next runner reaching the position shownin Fig. 2, thewhole operationis repeated.

The guide wire is of course capable of being constructed otherwise thanas shown, to suitrequirements.

Having now fully described our said in vention what e claim and desireto secure by Letters Patent is The handles are thereafter releasedPatented Sept. 1, 1914.

A device for placing the runners on the .rings of ring spinningmachines, comprising in combination two bars which are movable relativeto each other, handles integrally formed at one end of said bars, bothbars having a recess at the other end and one bar having a nose adaptedto engage the inner edge of the ring," a spring connecting the two bars,and a guide wire for the runners, one end thereof mounted on the barhaving a recess only and the other end being inclined and terminatingopposite the said recess, all substantially as and for the purposespecified and shown.
